9823,Allow 0xAD in URI attributes,nbachiyski,,"kses strips 0xAD from URI attributes (see #4379 and #5917).

Given the more frequent use of unicode in addresses and the fact that this byte appears in a lot of the UTF-8 representations, stripping it causes many broken URLs.

I researched the issue and found only [http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=112624614008387&w=2 one security problem] caused by this byte: Mozilla <= 1.7.11/Firefox <= 1.5 Beta 1 didn't escape this byte properly in Internationalized Domain Names.

The bug was fixed almost 4 years ago and everybody now is using newer versions of Firefox, so I think we can safely remove the check.",defect (bug),closed,low,2.9,Validation,2.8,normal,fixed,kses,
